Several Democrats have requested us to
ask Collector Leayitt if that part of civil
service law which debars men of a certain
age from holding office under him applies
only to Calais. AS it would so seem from
the fact that about every appointment he
has made elsewhere is over the age on which
he refused to appoint men in Calais.

Remarkable Cure of Little Girl
Read II.
81 think it is my duty to tell how much good
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done my little girl. She
was from birth puny, pale, and sickly and did not
seem to gain strength as she grew older. She
should have been able to walk when wear to a
age she
COULD NOT STAND ALONE.
She ate hardly anything, and seemed to be weak
constitutionally, but was doubtless kept back by
impure blood, which caused her much discomfort
and suffering. She had scald-head terribly her
head being covered with one sore. One day /
read In Hoods Item of a remark able cure Of a
child by Hoods Sarsaparilla, ana decided to try
this medicine, To say that
WAS AsToNIsHED
at the effect the first bottle had upon her. would
be mild way of expressing my feelings. Her APP
petite began to pick up, and soon we could hardly
give her enough 10 eat She also gained strength
could stand alone, and the sore on her head began
to grow less. We soon healed this up with Hood
Olive Ointment, and when she had taken three
bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla she could run about
the house as smart as any child. She has been a
BRIGHT AND HEALTHY
ever since. write this out Of pure gratitude to
Hoods Sarsaparilla." EDWARD T. ALEXANDER
